"She was able, for lack of a better term, to manipulate their business system because she was in a position of trust," said Sgt. Brian Unmisig. "It just took them a while to figure it out."

Morgan contacted the clinic's payroll vendor and doubled her salary to $80,000 without authorization, police said. Morgan is accused of taking more than $157,000 this way.

She also used the clinic's checking account to pay personal bills, police said, which cost $39,000 more. And she held on to cash patients paid for services, instead of depositing it, police said.

Morgan was arrested at the clinic at 9 a.m. Monday. She has denied the allegations and no longer works there, police said. Morgan, of 6669 80th Ave. N, was released from the county jail later that evening on $50,000 bail.
